Hi, 

I've created this new mailinglist and subscribed everybody from the CC list 
of the initial mail of Don. 

This list is only for the internals of khtml and kjs. Other, KDE specific 
stuff is going to be handled by kfm-devel@kde.org still. 

There are a few other people from other open source projects interested in 
joining the efforts, they will subscribe to this mailing list as well. 
However the audience will be limited, we won't allow users to join and bitch 
about bugs ;-)

We've browsed most of your changes and are really happy with what we saw so 
far. The KJS changes are big, and we're currently thinking on how to 
integrate them, as they break both Binary and Source compatibility. This is 
not acceptable in KDE 3.x release cycle according to our development 
guidelines. 

The best we could come up so far is starting with kjs2, which will be 
installed in parallel and used by khtml and integrate your Identifier and 
Collector, as well as the other fixes one after the other. This way 3rd 
party users of kjs1 will not be affected by the massive BC and SC breakage. 

To end with a question: 

I've seen some namespace related changes in the khtml/dom subdir. Are those 
still needed for your compile environment or can they be nuked? I don't mind 
merging them, but I want to know why. 

For example like khtml/dom/css_value.cpp you changed 

using namespace DOM;

into 

namespace DOM { ... }
